A Facebook post and a crazy idea
I told my friends: You are going to get scammed basically, but perhaps they were always going to be anyway because of ignorance. To explain to them the workings of the scam and why it was a scam, and to have understood every detail they would have had to read many articles and books or just take the whole thing I was telling by faith. And that's what my Facepost meant. [Redacted to avoid real names showing]
We scheduled Zoom meetings, and I was going to show them some other documents I found. And just then I began thinking whether I could see something of how this scam operated from the inside. Some of them though, like Charity started thinking of how they could get their money out. Nne got her husband to write letters designed to take advantage of the cooling-off period offered UK customers. While they were engaged by these pursuits I on the other hand wondered whether I could raise a team and try a mini 'sting' operation. The plan was buy our way into Super.One - see it from the inside - case it a little and then submit our findings to an authority that was more suited to do something about it.
Although the UK authorities would not investigate something if it involved cryptocurrencies, seeing as those instruments are not yet regulated in the UK; they had information on their websites which stated that they might investigate allegations of fraud if those particular allegations involved multi-level marketing schemes or Initial Coin Offerings. Given such conditions they would investigate regardless of whether the allegations involved cryptos or not. I have already said that an ICO through an MLM operation could be dodgy.
While my friends obsessed about how to leave the traps they had become unwittingly trapped in. I planned instead to infiltrate. That was well and good, only that the infiltration was going to cost me back a few dollars. My dad would have said. 'Son? 'Why throw good money after a bad expense'?
